Burning Sky

A Burning Man Camp of Skydivers

Burning Sky is a collective of skydivers who bring aerial art to the unique venue of
Burning Man. We also offer the public an unforgettable opportunity to
view Black Rock City from the air in order to share our timeless love of the heavens with the Burning Man community.
Any sufficiently-experienced skydiver is welcome to participate.

The idea behind Burning Sky, like Burning Man itself, is difficult to sum up in a sound bite. It’s like explaining
what skydiving is like to someone who has never jumped. “Radical Self Expression” is what Larry Harvey, credited founder
of Burning Man, uses to describe the event. The skydiving members of Burning Sky completely appreciate that. Our camp
started with about 10 skydivers in 1999, and has grown to 100+ skydiving participants. We are a highly experienced group of
skydivers. Our continuing mission is to extend the art and ethos of Burning Man off the playa into the vertical dimension,
coloring the sky in coordinated jumps using banners, smoke, and magnesium flares.
